8855 Dooley Bridge

Funk Grove

Runway 5 is used during one of the rare Santa Ana wind conditions occurring a couple times during the year.

These videos are great. so helpful thanks

One of my all time favorite airports.😊

Yawn....

Great video

Thaaaannnk You!

Very nice intro to the airport. Couple of points to add... * Interesting that the video starts by explaining the pilot flew left traffic to 25, but then later - correctly - points out that traffic to 25 should be a right hand pattern. (Stuff happens.) I think they just want you to avoid flying over town. As well, though it's not listed anywhere I've seen, I recall something about noise abatement and they prefer to try to stay higher if possible over the wildlife areas to the east. (Though not quite sure how this is possible given that if VFR chances are you're not much over 1,000' in the pattern on that side of the runway.) * This is all personal preference, but when leaving this airport, or Block, or the Vineyard, etc., I like to climb a bit and get flight following from Cape Approach before heading over the water.

Thanks for the video. The airport is now called San Martin, and it is now class E and no 100LL.

Would like to see a video of you guys covering 36S :)

Did all my PPL flight training at KPAO.

Just a semantics thing: In the USA, runways with a single digit are spoken, "Runway 5, Runway 6, Runway 7..." not Runway Zero Five, Runway Zero Six, Runway Zero Seven. Don't know why. Nice video though.

really cool airport.......its busy on Saturday........runway in perfect condition and the Hangar One diner is great........anything you want is in there. Great place to fly into........

Pretty terrain.

Being a student pilot, kinda interesting making that call right when you take-off and asking to either land or go thru their airspace. Hoping they do not say no or not give me my call sign. Not a lot of options to avoid if no two way radio contact.

what is the reg. of the a/c?

Rt traffic for 32 but you made Left traffic

5 is almost never used.......wind usually favors 23..........

Great video...good to know.

It’s 14 not 1,4

ps only mistake I noticed was your graphic says tpa 10,000 ft agl :)

great helpful video. how do you do the 3d animation of the bravo shelf?

I grew up in Baker. Nice to see the airport again.

you mentioned left traffic for 29 but looked like a right base to final in the video ...??? what is there to do there on the ground? thx

Hi Paul Rosales ☺️

Straight In VFR approaches like the one demonstrated in this video are a major safety concern for this Class G airport. VFR pilots flying into Petaluma Municipal Airport are strongly encouraged to review AC 90-66C Non-Towered Airport Flight Operations www.faa.gov/documentLibrary/media/Advisory_Circular/AC_90-66C.pdf Section 9.2 of AC 90-66C advises: "Fly the Standard Traffic Pattern. Arriving aircraft should enter the airport’s traffic pattern at traffic pattern altitude and avoid straight-in approaches for landing to mitigate the risk of a midair collision. See the paragraphs below and paragraph 11 for additional information." Petaluma is a very busy General Aviation airport at it is not unusual to have 3 or more aircraft in the pattern. Flying the pattern and communicating your location is critical. There is a very active flight training operation at the field. There are a wide variety of aircraft operating at the field including ultralights, autogyros, antique aircraft and small jets. Not all aircraft are equipped with radios, and not all aircraft will show up on ADS-B. Please review the AC and fly the traffic pattern (right pattern for Runway 29, left for Runway 11) if you are planning to land at Petaluma.

Yall stupid makers never landed

You did all that work 3 years ago and no comments? Well... hope this will start some more. Great video on how to get there. Venice can be tricky with that right pattern on 13. Glad you were able to point that out. People flying in should know that there are a bunch of people who may not be as attentive to safety there as they should. So ears open head on a swivel. No control tower. Flying out on 23 at night might as well be on instruements due to the loss of horizon. Be careful. Trust your instruments. Great food at the restaurant vibrant atmosphere. Owner is a great personality. Thanks for your video. We are going there today April 12 2024.

Riverside is not in San Diego. It's not even in the same county. As the name implies, it's in Riverside, the county seat of Riverside County.

First time. I was both long and fast, touched down midfield.

Im sure ramp fees are $1000 a day here for a Cessna 150

NEVER DO A BASE ENTRY AT CABLE ! OR OVER MIDFIELD TO DOWNWIND!!

Where was the 15 degree offset to 20L? The AFD spells it out. To the end of the runway!

This is what’s known as a Fillmore Final

I don’t get it but its relaxing.

I went there years ago to check out the doctor plain tight getting in there clouds were low..

Nice.

Landed very long.

Opened 1500? You mean 1500 Zulu?

Great videos!!! Love them would be nice if you could show us how to get out of these places. Some places have noise abatement procedures

You click on one Flabob video and your recommendations are filled with Flabob videos forever.

The plural of aircraft is "aircraft". "Aircrafts" is not a word of the english language.

Where’s transient parking?

Awesome video. Love seeing my town from above

Can you do a straight in approach for either runway?

This area and over the mountain to Santa Cruz, Watsonville, Salinas, Monterey peninsula . . . is one of the best areas. Look at those gorgeous farms, the near perfect weather, etc.

From above, all the houses are built from the same huge corporations, all the houses are the same. Its cool and scary at the same time

At 1:50 in the video the labeling on the 10 Fwy and 405 Fwy may be incorrect.
